Before They Were Stars Round 6 and 7

Well rather then abandon this competition due to lack of interest I'm going to keep it for the rest of the week in an effort to increase hits at the site. Hopefully someone will google the stars in the competition and stay to read something.

The winner of Round 4 is mscynic guessing Catherine Zeta Jones. You can find mscynic at Watchdog of the Wankers

No one guessed Round 5. It seems we forgot the star of The X Files, Gillian Anderson.

The tally now stands at Sponky 1, mscynic 1 with six more chances to get points the game is still open to anyone!



Round 6



Round 7

United Kingdom of America

Blair makes it official. UK to adopt the US flag and policies.

Mother reincarnated as Lice?

A Buddhist monk has won compensation for itching caused by lice in a Hotel he was staying at.
A court in Western Japan ordered Hot Springs Inn to pay 100,000 Yen to compensate for itching caused by over 100 louse bites.

The judge dismissed the Hotel's claims that the lice were actually the Monk's deceased mother who wont stop hounding him even in the next life. The Hotel filed a counter claim for unpaid rent from the plaintiff's mother.

Aussie Big Brother Scum!

After the launch of my competition 'Before they were stars' last Friday, Australian Big Brother has stolen my idea launching their own this week with Big Brother house mates!

When asked to comment on this travesty the response I received from Southern Star stated that the,

"Baby photo trivia has been scheduled for the period after week 8 since before production began. No members of Southern Star or Channel Ten have viewed your site or stolen any of it's content."

This is not over Big Brother!!!

Before They Were Stars Round 4 and 5

And the winner of Round 2 is......unfortunatly nobody recognised little Brad Pitt so no points there.

The winner of Round 3 is Sponky guessing Britney Spears. It seems that little Britney is as recognisable as the big one because everybody knew it was her, Sponky was just lucky to be the first.

So far the tally stands at Sponky 1, Tealou 1.

Tealou has been disqualified due to cheating so Sponky has the lead by himself.

Here is Round 4 and 5



Round 4



Round 5

FUXTEL DIGITAL

Téa and I got Foxtel Digital as soon as we were able to because we were excited about the extra features thatweren'tt available on the original Foxtel service.

Foxtel Digital boasts extra channels, Sports Active, News Active as well as a Box Office pay as you use service.

Too use the Box Office feature you mush have a phone line near the television because every so often the set top box reports back and tells Foxtel what I have watched and bills you appropriately.

The Foxtel installer puts in an extra phone line near the T.V as a part of the Digitalinstallationn, all costs are covered by the fee you pay to upgrade.

My installer (Scott) did a fantastic job. Hes now installed Foxtel in two of my homes and did a great job with both installations. His extra phone line works great. I have plugged my home phone into the extention and had no problems.

For some reason Foxtel don't agree. My set top box is connected but it wont ring through. I can hardly see why this is my or Scott's fault but Foxtel said that "Scott has stuffed up and lied to me about my connection." I'm sorry Foxtel, the connection works fine this end!

A phone call with Foxtel brought no joy and they told me that I would have to wait a week or so for either Scott or a Foxtel representative to get in touch with me. I waited and waited, almost 8 weeks beforereceivingg any word.

Correspondents arrived in a form of a letter addresses to my wife. I scroll though the formalities to find this,

"At the time of installation the technician was unable to connect the FOXTEL Set Top Unit to a fixed phone line at your address."'

Well that establishes that they still haven't looked at the problem in my home. Worse is yet to come. They take this time to tell me about DIGIPATH(trademark),

"DIGIPATH allows you to connect the FOXTEL Digital Set Top Unit with your fixed phone line using wireless technology"

"DIGIPATH is available today for only $69.95, which will provide access to enhanced features such as FOXTEL Box Office. DIGIPATH remains the property of FOXTEL."

$69.95 to fix something that isn't my problem? $69.95 to buy something that isn't mine?

FOXTEL if I didn't know better I would say you are trying to rip me off on purpose. You left calling me back so you could get me to buy one of your DIGIPATH units! You avoid the real problem with my connection (which must be a problem on your end) to upsell me!

Australia, pay T.V. has you by the balls!

100!

It's amazing what boredom can do. I only got a blog username so I could comment on Téalou's May Contain Traces of Nuts... now 100 posts later I'm still bored.

It's been a good hundred, 764 hits and 77 profile view.Unfortunatelyy the only person that comes back is Sponky.

The blog will slow down as from next week as I am back to work 12 hours a day, six days a week but I will still publish from time to time. 'It sucks to be you' will hopefully morph into a funny stories from a pissed off bus driver blog. The world (or at least Morley and surrounding areas) will now be my muse.

So enjoy 'It Sucks To Be You' for the rest of the week and make sure you check back regularly. You never know when I'm gonna post.

Do It for My Country

Bush: Yeah, let's do it for my country, the red, white, and the blue.

Tomorrow I'll be fighting, and I'll win this war for you.
Let's do it for my country, my country wants us to.

Before They Were Stars Round 2 and 3

And the winner of round 1 is.......Téalou, guessing Eminem

Ok it seems that people weren't trying very hard in the first round but I am still persistent.

I am coming to Perth on Saturday so I'm going to increase the amount of pictures per day and have the competition finish a week early. You now have two pictures to guess each day for the rest of the week.

Here is Round 2 and 3


Round 2



Round 3

It's now official

'Fahrenheit 9/11' was the United States biggest Weekend Box Office earner this week at $21.8M for the weekend.

It only just beat out the Wayans Brothers film 'White Chicks' which also opened last weekend. 'White Chicks' came in with $19.6M.

I'm now holding our breath to see if 'Fahrenheit 9/11' enter the list for the top 50 grossing films of all time.

It also goes to show that if Director Kevin Smith wanted a big box office hit he should have been writing movies about stoners in the White House instead of stoners in New Jersey.

Old fart builds plane in garage

It was reported today that a Slovak pensioner has spent three years building his own plane in his garage, using only a model plane as guide.

Milan Friso (67) said it cost him about 750,000 koruna ($32,000) to build the ultralight aircraft, which weighs 280km.

Mr Friso also noted that it would have only taken one year but it was hard to find a lacky band big enough to power his aircraft the same way as his model plane.

My New Competition!

Today marks the first day of my competition 'Before They Were Stars'.

Monday to Friday for the next 2 weeks I will place a picture of a current celebrity from when they were young on the site. The first person to guess who the celebrity is from the picture will get a point. The person with the most points at the end of the two weeks wins. If all goes well I will be able to announce a winner sometime after the final picture is posted on the 9th of July.

There is no prize, contestants will win the ability to brag to all their friends that they are the best.

In the event that I get called to work before the 10th of July you will all have to find something else to occupy yourselves.

So I give you the first of eleven pictures, the answer will be posted on Monday when the next picture is posted.



Who is this?

A judge with a handle on things!

If it wasn't on the Reuters site I would have dismissed it as a joke. Apparently Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson filed a petition on Wednesday with state judicial authorities seeking the ouster of Sapulpa District Judge Donald Thompson, 57, for wanking while court was in session.

Judge Donald Thompson claims that some people that don't agree with some of his verdicts are trying to get rid of him.

The petition reads "On one occasion, Ms. (Lisa) Foster (Thompson's court reporter for 15 years), saw Judge Thompson holding his penis up and shaving underneath it with a disposable razor while on the bench,"

Several witnesses, including jurors also claim to have heard the swooshing noise of a penis pump.

Fahrenheit 9/11 Review

I found this review of Fahrenheit 9/11 in CNN of all places.

'But the question isn't whether "Fahrenheit 9/11" is a fair and balanced look at its subject matter. Of course it isn't. Rather, is it good filmmaking?

The answer is yes.'

You can read the whole thing here.

Puppy Power!

"I am the angel of Death, the time of.......ohhh geez that's a nice dog! Urge to kill, Falling, falling, gone!"

It was reported today that a man in Toronto who was on his way to a murderous rampage had a change of heart at the eleventh hour.

The man's car was loaded with a shotgun, bolt action rifle, a semi-automatic weapon a machete and more than 6000 rounds of ammunition.

It was while at a park in the west end of Toronto that the man met a dog. Deciding that it was a very nice dog the man decided to turn himself in instead of killing as many people as he can get his sight on.

The man then drove around the neighbourhood until he found a police officer and handed himself in.

Before they were stars

I'll let you guess who this is

I was just looking at my stats

I just wanted to say hello to all the people from Australia, Mexico, United States, Philippines, United Kingdom, Canada, Singapore, Germany, Netherlands, Brazil, New Zealand and Paraguay. You have all represented your countries and visited me.

Too all the perverts wondering when Emma Watson is turning eighteen, get a life. I love getting page hits but geez you guys make up most of them. Atleast stay for some of my other articles! You all just leave as soon as you work out I don't have a countdown clock. Oh no, I have used Emma Watson and countdown clock in the same sentence again. They wont stop coming!!!

Equal Punishment?

Yesterday a woman who 'accidentally' ran over a child got a $1200 fine and was suspended from driving for a year.

It would seem that the break pedal is too close to the accelerator.

Its not the first time something like this has happened, usually relegated to the mature driver, mistaking the accelerator for the break usually happens when people who are too old to be behind the wheel get rushed into making easy maneuvers without taking care. The 'I've been driving for years and never had an accident' mentality takes over and someone is killed.

Paraskevi Kafetzis does not fall into this category as she is only 39. So what happened that afternoon? The day Six-year-old Constantine Politis died outside his school while standing on the footpath. He was not playing on the road, he was not playing in amongst parked cars, he was on the footpath!

So was it a crime worth $1200? Should it be seen as an accident? I promise you that if you go out in your car today and drive to a place where you are all alone and try to accidentally hit the accelerator it is more then likely that you will not travel more then a few feet at best.

"But I'm trying to stop the car Jason, I'm taking care!" What, Paraskevi Kafetzis wasn't taking care while driving a car. An instrument that we are all told on the first day we go out to learn to drive can kill and kill with ease!

I'm sure if I was allowed to delve into Mrs Kafetzis's driving record I would find a heap of small accidents. Probably nothing much in the way of traffic fines but a heap of small accidents with other motorists and the occasional pole or fence.

Another way too look at it would be in the case of my father-in-law. He had the habit of driving drunk. Yes, I believe that he deserves everything he gets for driving drunk but I want to look at the other aspect of his punishment. He would drive drunk, get caught and end up with a 3 month suspension. So what does he do, he drives without a license, he drives drunk. Basically back to normal. Once again he gets caught. Eventually he ends up with a 10 year suspention. He did finally give up driving for the most part.

My father-in-law never killed anyone. As far as I know he never caused any damage to other peoples property, he's just a guy with a drinking problem that he needs help with and the ability to drive a car.

Why does a man who has never hurt anyone but himself and his family have a greater punishment then a woman who should never be behind the wheel of a car again? Arn't both potential threats to the well being of the people around them?



The childs parents, didn't even recieve an apology.

Tea kills seven children

That was one of the headlines I woke up to this morning. My wife's name is often written as Tea instead of Téa so you can tell I was worried. My daughter is now in hiding until this matter can be sorted out!

It seems that the article is actually about Tea the drink but for the sake of my child I can't take that risk! The article says that seven children died after drinking a cup of Tea at a wedding celebration in the eastern Indian state of Bihar. I'm sorry for that family if that actually happened but that has got to be the weirdest thing I have ever heard!

As for my wife. Téa you have go a lot of explaining to do!

Crap and Fish Sticks

I stumbled on this Blog by accident one day and now I visit everyday. Crap and Fish Sticks is written by PocKet, a 500 billion year old prophet who lives in my zits apparently. Its worth reading. You can always find her link in my links section so don't bookmark, every time you want to read her site you can use my links. I like to hoard my precious page hits into tiny piles! They are so cute and I need more, lots more!

My next wife.

With Jack Ryan, former wife of Jeri Lynn Ryan, running for a US Senate seat from the state of Illinois details of their divorce are now coming out.

In the divorce filings, the 36-year-old actress complains of being ambushed with trips to sex clubs during supposed "romantic" getaways to New York, New Orleans and Paris and asked to perform sex acts on Mr Ryan in public. Mr Ryan also specifically asked other people to watch.

It is good that the media hounds celebrities through every detail of their life. Through it I can learn what Jeri likes and dislikes, making it easier to win her over!



My next wife!

38 Dead in Bus Crash

It was reported today that a bus plunged of a 250 metre cliff in central Bolivia killing at least 38 people.

God bless that bus driver, he is finally getting some peace.

People mentioned on the list are singer Sophie Monk, TV host Rove, presenter Gretel Killeen and Eddie McGuire.

Argh, Would someone please check on my wife!

A story from today's Courier-Mail suggests that married couples are far more likely to separate after two years.

Téa and I have been married 26 months, should I be worried?

Australia full of Slackers!

Latest research to come from Southern Cross University historian Dr Adele Wessell suggests that Australians are slack when it comes to the kitchen.

A study of what Australians cook most often at home shows that we choose Spaghetti Bolognaise over the original Aussie favorites of meat and three veggies, fish and chips or pie and peas.

It seems that a five minutes in the pot and your done mentality has griped Australia.

Not happy to just let it happen Dr Wessell will present a paper at the British World Conference in Melbourne from July 2 to 4, entitled There's no taste like home: the food of the empire.

I for one am happy with my pasta and sauce! I'm not about to boil my veggies for half an hour just so I can eat tasteless meals like my grandparents.

After McDonalds was in the media this week over the 'Super Size Me' campain Mr Russo, the CEO of McDonalds couldn't let this topic pass him by either stating "I'm of Italian descent and I couldn't eat spaghetti Bolognese every day."

The world is now urging Mr Russo to 'get a grip!'

48 year old man divorces mum!

On the back of a recent story of a 14 year old boy who successfully divorced his mum, a man in his late forties has done the same.

Mr Ahearn of Perth was sick of being belittled and chastised by his mother when he heard that divorcing your parents was an option.

Mr Ahearn filed for the divorce against Mrs Ahearn, a 74 year old widow, in October last year. Citing irreconcilable differences he also claimed money from Mrs Ahearn for her actions in destroying Mr Ahearns career and marriage.

The judge finally awarded Mr Ahearn with $150,000 for suffering but would not award for the loss of career stating "Sometimes you just have to be a man and ignore her."

An elated Mr Ahearn later said "I hope this empowers more mummies boys to break the apron strings!"

Mrs Ahearn didn't loose everything in the settlement. Mrs Ahearn was awarded all of Mr Ahearn's football trophies and merit certificates from high school.

When do you know your having a bad run with men?

It was reported today that a man has been sentenced to 14 years in prison after setting a woman on fire because she rejected several of his marriage proposals.

The woman, Hulya Cavus, a 38-year-old mother of three was reluctant to remarry because of abuse she had received from a former husband. Her ex-husband, Gulbey Cavus stabbed her six times while she was at her workplace.

Are some people magnets for abuse? If I was this woman I would be locking myself away from all men forever after going through all that!

More on the Sex Vs Money link!

Researchers have now conducted a study that measures the value of sex in dollars and cents.

According to the findings, couples who engage in sex at least four times a month bring themselves a measure of happiness equal to $71,500 a year compared with couples who have sex only once a month.

If this was the case then I would feel like a millionaire! Instead I still feel poor. Good work researchers!

God's aim getting worse?

Last night a meteorite fell on the New South Wales south coast. This comes only days after another meteorite fell on a house in Auckland.

It has been said by local New South Wales church members that it can be understood why god would send a meteorite to New Zealand but few can believe one would fall in Australia.

"This is God's country!" said a church member that would not release their name.

Other Australians seem to have a different perspective. Kevin James from Menangle said "I think God's aim is getting better. It's not long before he finally gets Canberra in his sights!"

The meteorite has yet to be found. The Police admit that unless someone literally stumbles over the meteorite, the chances of finding it are slim.

Emma Watson countdown?

With the Olsen Twins finally 18, internet nerds are turning their 18th birthday countdown clock to Emma Watson from the 'Harry Potter' movies. Apparently its 3 years, 43 weeks, 3 days, 2 hours, 20 minutes and 5 more seconds!

Selling sex. Not just for the girls?

A British student has put his virginity up for sale on eBay for 6000 pounds ($15,790), a British newspaper reported.

David Vardy, a 19 year old said he had not had time for a girlfriend due to various multimedia projects but hoped for a really nice woman to stump up the fee - with 1000 pounds ($2600) going to the charity Oxfam.

"If she did offer 6000 pounds ($15,790) then sure, I might as well do it," he added

eBay has since removed the advert after receiving more then 7000 hits. (geez, and I'm happy with 250 hits)

Mr Vardy's advert comes after another student, Rosie Reid offered her virginity to the highest bidder on the Internet. The 18 year old eventually had sex in North London with a 44-year-old man who paid 8400 pounds ($22,100) for the privilege.

Teacher gets it on with student

It was reported today that a teacher in her thirties has been charged with sexual assault after allegedly having an affair with a year 10 student.

I thought that was every kids dream! I dare you to find one person that didn't have a crush on atleast one of their teachers. Anyone who says they didn't are lying.

Anti-Virus for your mobile?

It was announced today that the mobile phone is no longer free from virus attacks. A virus called Cabir has become the first mobile virus to infect mobile phones using the bluetooth system.

If the virus succeeds in penetrating the phone, it writes the inscription 'Caribe' on the screen and is then activated every time that the phone is turned on. Then it is able to scan for other phones using bluetooth and send a copy to other mobiles.

Most guys just harass by email

It has been said today that a former 'boyfriend' of Delta Goodrem is getting back at her by selling intimate letters and song lyrics she wrote for him.

Jay Till 21, reportedly told a journalist representing the British newspaper: "We were in love, then Philippoussis stole my girl. I'm heartbroken. I really loved Delta - now I can't stand to even hear her records on the radio."

I thought it was the custom just to harass ex girlfriends by email and ICQ till they realize that they made a mistake. Till has taken it to a whole new standard.

The whole world is now waiting to see just how bitter he really is. Some fans are hoping that Till is despicable enough to post nude pics on ex girlfriend sites.

Fast Food Nation

Due to the topic of the last post I thought I would share this book that I am reading by Eric Schlosser. It really lies at the heart of what Mr Spurlock is trying to get across.

Fast Food Nation

McDonalds Implodes in Australia

An article today by Matt Sun in the Daily Telegraph reports that the fast food giant McDonalds is hitting back at the small independent film 'Super Size Me'.

'Super Size Me', a film by Morgan Spurlock depicts what happens when a man chooses to eat only at McDonalds for thirty days. The only rules are that you can only upsize your order if the attendant asks you and you must eat everything on the menu at least once.

Starting tonight, McDonalds will show advertising on national television with Australia CEO Guy Russo stating that 'Super Size Me' is "about a person that decides to over-eat". I'm sorry, over eat? Mr Spurlock is only eating three meals a day and only in the servings that McDonalds serves. I thought it was recommended that all Australians eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Mr Russo goes on to say that eating McDonalds for breakfast, lunch and dinner for a whole month is bad for you. I suppose that this is why McDonalds doesn't offer meals in some school canteens in the United States. Oh wait, It does.

In a press conference last night Mr Russo states that the advertising campaign is to highlight the irresponsible actions of the film-maker. Did the McDonalds CEO of Australia say that eating Mcdonalds all day every day was a mistake?

Mr Russo goes on to say that Mr Spurlock is "deliberately having all the large meals and soda and fries and the quarter pounder three times a day and that's not right."

It would seem that Mr Russo has not seen the film. Because Mr Spurlock is not deliberately having all the large meals and soda and fries and the quarter pounder three times. Mr Spurlock only upsizes when asked and must eat everything on the menu atleast once. Mr Russo fails to note that McDonalds has a new salads range that Mr Spurlock would have needed to try. McDonalds say that the new range is healthy. Mr Russo also forgets that McDonalds doesn't serve quarter pounders and fries in the morning. Mr Russo, is there a problem with the McDonalds breakfast menu?

Mr Russo is obviously confused because he finally remembers that McDonalds has a new Salads plus range dismissing notions that McDonald's should be treated as a "special treat", describing it is "a legitimate meal". Further saying that "I would prefer kids to be drinking apple juice and eating fruit."

Visiting the McDonalds website confirms the article as it is Mr Russo's face we see first with the caption "Seen that movie?" Is it so horrible that McDonalds cant even mention it?

First the site offers us the facts in graph form. One column says 'That Movie' and the other says McDonalds Australia. The list is too long for me to go into here but I can tell you that McDonalds Australia doesn't answer 'That Movies' questions instead choosing to use words like "significantly less" and "has less".

McDonalds then go into what they are doing to offer a healthy alternative, reminding us of the Salads Plus range and how good it is for you.

Next, and this is the best one, there is a letter Mr Spurlock wrote to McDonalds asking an interview. In the letter we read that McDonalds have already knocked back Mr Spurlock atleast once. It would seem that they care about him now! McDonalds use the letter against Mr Spurlock but it clearly shows that Mr Spurlock was actually trying to get to the truth. It would appear that he found it.

Finally McDonalds states what Mr Spurlock ate. The list McDonalds is hardly what Mr Spurlock ate as it is no where near the whole menu choice but rather a list of the fattier, high calorie meals.

I can't help but think McDonalds should have just let this one go. Especially McDonalds Australia. The McDonalds that is shown in 'Super Size Me' is not the McDonalds in Australia but rather what we could become if Australia becomes a corporate mess. I hope its a future we can avoid.

For Mums, vitamin B means “Beautiful, Bouncing, Babies”.

On the Vegemite website it would appear that Vegemite can't let go of the past.

If you visit the Vegemite website you will first notice all the old pictures and heritage associated with the product since 1923. I suppose its trying to increase buying by making it the product every Australian home must have. Unlocking childhood memories of Vegemite in the morning. You can even stroll through pages and pages of old ads, packaging evolution and memorabilia.

The website also includes a recipe and kids corner. Its good to note that the kids corner includes a 'Production tour' that shows the kids how Vegemite is made. At no point in the production tour did I see anything that I would recognize in a factory. The production tour only shows flash animation of the process and not the actual process. I worry that the actual process may be more gruesome.

All these are normal marketing techniques and completely acceptable. What does seem out of place on a website in 2004 is the 'Healthy Vegemite' section. A quick scroll down the section you will find "For Mums, vitamin B means Beautiful, Bouncing, Babies." It urges you to Click for more. A quick click will show you "How your baby can B a happy little Vegemite" describing in detail that your baby needs vitamin B and when you should introduce Vegemite to your child.

It would seem that while making the Vegemite web page look old Kraft have been able to attack the 21st century nuclear family. "For mums" Ok as a dad I wont worry. Why is this information only for mums? Is it because they encourage pregnant women to make sure they maintain their vitamin B levels? Can't be. The web site didn't mention that on the page. Could it be because mum stays home and looks after the family while dad is out working to make the money? Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner!

It would seem that in a world where woman already wear the stress of trying to balance being a good mother with other needs us men have taken for granted for many years, corporations are still trying to make them feel guilty about returning to the work force. I'm sorry but woman have a right to work, socialize and make decisions in the real world.

Its also good to point out that I started my journey with Vegemite today because of an article stating that Kraft were no longer able to accommodate the necessary kosher regimes required to make the product kosher stating changes to manufacturing procedures.

It appears that Kraft really does believe it's still 1923 Australia.

Finally, Movie exec's with brains!

It has been announced that the fourth installment of the Mad Max series 'Mad Max; Beyond Walking Frames' has been shut down for good.

The film was shut down due to war in the Middle East. The movie was due to be shot in Namibia.

What ever the reason, I believe that this film should never be made and the exec's on this one made a good decision. Unfortunately its not all good news. Mad Max's director, Dr George Miller had now announced that he will instead step up and direct Babe three.

"I'm sorry, I don't speak terrorist!" 

Meteorite crashes in Auckland

According to reports 1.3kg meteorite crashed on a home in Auckland on Saturday morning bouncing off a couch and nearly missing the three occupants inside.

Sources close to God say that they can't explain what happened. "God usually has better aim then that!"

Sophie Monk shot dead in Iraq!

Australian star Sophie Monk headed to Iraq this week to entertain the troops who are hard at work defending this nation against terrorism.

Sophie was only half way through her new song 'One Breath Away' when she was taken aside and arrested on charges of terrorism.

A spokesperson from the Australian Defence force said "We had to arrest Ms Monk because of what her music was doing to the troops. Our nations troops aren't going to want to fight when they feel they are defending people like Ms Monk. We feel that constitutes terrorism."

Sophie resisted military police and fled away from the performance only to be shot on the streets on Baghdad hours later.
Witnesses say that Sophie was shot while attempting to busk in a mall.

'No link' between sex and money?

An article today reports that their is no link between the amount of sex you have and the amount of money in your bank account.

I would have thought if you had money you could hook up several different sexcapades. I bet with a big bank account I could hook up a 3 way in no time flat!

Why do cool things happen after I leave?

A News.com.au newsflash says that 9 prisoners escaped from custody at Perth's Supreme Court building.

If I'm 900km away how am I supposed to enjoy that! I can just imagine it now. A message would be out on the bus radio where I work describing the prisoners and where they were last seen. Half an hour later a driver would get on the radio too excited to talk saying that he saw one somewhere. A good time would be had by all.

Instead I'm in nowheres ville Esperance watching Hi 5 with a two year old!

Hopefully I will be back soon.

Welcome America!

I just wanted to welcome readers from the United States. Today this site received its first hit from the U.S so here's a big hello to them. Please make yourself feel welcome and enjoy my many pictures of your president.

Also a thank you goes out to blogpulse. Without them my site would only be viewed by five people.

The Clearing

Robert Redford and Willem Dafoe. Need I say anymore?

Wayne and Eileen Hayes (Redford, Mirren) appear to be living the American dream, until that dream becomes a living nightmare. A self-made tycoon, Wayne is seemingly invincible. But all illusions are shattered when he is kidnapped in broad daylight from their peaceful Pittsburgh estate. Under the microscope of a probing FBI investigation and her own painstaking introspection, Eileen too is a victim. Meanwhile, Wayne, with his fate resting in the hands of a kidnapper (Dafoe) who has nothing to lose and everything to gain, finds himself in the most important negotiation ever - for his life....

That's the Plot Summary from the official site. While corny, it doesn't turn me off seeing the film. The trailer only gives me a feeling that I have seen something like this before. I am worried about the quality of the direction. While the director, Pieter Jan Brugge, has been in the movie industry since 1987 this is his first time in the directors chair and I think it shows even in the trailer.

Also from the trailer I am a little unhappy with Robert Redford's performance but I know just being in the same shot as Dafoe will help Redford alot.

Over all I don't care one way or the other about 'The Clearing' and I don't think I will be going out of my way to see it. If there is nothing else on the shelf, I wont mind bringing this one home to watch.

"The Clearing' opens in the U.S on the 2nd of July and in Australia on the 26th of August

Also, If anyone has knows any upcoming films they would like me to mention here please drop a comment.

Mike Straka

Mike Straka is the lamest excuse for a pundit I have ever seen. Mike is the Director of Operations and Special Projects for FOXNews.com, and contributes as a features reporter and producer on "FOX Magazine," "Sunday Best" and FOXNews.com.

Today I read Mikes column Strakalogue Grrr! and it passes no better then a badly written blog.

I suppose I should say good luck to him but I wont. There are much better bloggers that deserve the amount of readers that he would be getting by being on fox.

Go, go and read his column and for the stronger of you there is a 'Respond to Editor' button at the bottom of the page.

Spider-Man 2

I have never been a fan of the Spider-Man series and the first installment of the latest Spider-Man franchise didn't do that much for me. It wasn't until I saw Spider-Man: The New Animated Series on DVD that I got onboard the Spider-Man wagon.

The animated series from MTV picked up where the first movie left off with Peter doing his thing. Over the course of the series, Spider-Man continually gets in Peter's way until Peter finally casts Spider-Man into the river where he hopes to never see him again.

After watching the trailer for Spider-Man 2 I think all is forgotten as Peter has the costume on again only to throw it away because MJ is getting married. The movie Peter isn't as careful as the animated series Peter because this time Peter throws Spider-Man into a bin with most of the suit hanging over the top.

Also, in the animated series we see Harry go along way in understanding Spider-Man and what he did to Harry's dad. The movie Harry seems to hate Spider-Man just as much as he did at the end of the first film.

While I think its good that people don't need to see the animated series to get the second film I would have liked them to honor it just a little bit.

In short, the second film has a long way to go if it wants to impress me. The animated series is the benchmark I have put up. Sam Raimi, you have been issued your challenge.

Spider-Man 2 is out in America on the 30th of June and in Australia on the 1st of July because of the time difference.

Harry 'Tarintino' Potter Update

As I said a few days ago, the new Harry Potter film was given an M15+ rating. You must all have taken my advice and sent your emails because the film has now been downgraded to a PG with the consumer advisory adjusted to read: "Some fantasy scenes may frighten young children."

Play School now a haven for cross dressers?

David Goodwin, a Queensland drone, has raised doubts about 'Play School's live performances this week off the back of the Gay School debate.

Having attended a live play school performance hosted by George Spartels and Benita Collings, Mr Goodwin dragged his family from the protest and went home to complain.

It appears that Mr Goodwin was upset at the site of George wearing a Mary had a little lamb outfit, complete with pigtails. He also took offence at George making reference to Mary living in Fortitude Valley, apparently a late night entertainment and red light district.

An ABC spokesperson said the show was an innocent pantomime with no messages and the only reason George had mentioned Fortitude Valley was because he lived there.

It would appear that Mr Goodwin owes George an apology. First he criticizes Georges occupation then he makes statements saying that George lives in a seedy neighbourhood.

He continues. "My concern is kids cannot tell reality from fiction and if they are seeing this every day, it warps what they think is real, They never see their dad jumping around in women's clothing."

Mr Goodwin said the cross-dressing was further evidence Play School was promoting gay and lesbian lifestyles as normal and acceptable to children.

New spin on Reaganomics?

Word from the States this morning is that a few people would like to see Reagan get his face on their money. He already got his hands on most of it, I suppose its like when your mum puts your name on all your stuff the day before you go to school.

No Caption. It just 'makes me feel good' 

White Chicks

I had originally promised myself that I wouldn't put up a post on the upcoming movie 'White Chicks' but after seeing the trailer I thought that I just had to share.

'White Chicks' is the new Wayans Brothers movie but don't let that distract you. This movie looks bad! Shawn and Marlon play two FBI guys who have to catch the bad guy. For some reason they take it upon themselves to dress as the white girls they are ordered to protect.
While that being about as much substance as this film carries the Plot Summary on the web site is huge. So big that after about two minutes I got bored and gave up.

The trailer isn't any better. Anyone who is looking for a new way of purging themselves, look no further. Watching this trailer I had to battle to keep my breakfast down where it belongs. Seeing the Wayans in their white girl costume is harder to look at then watching that movie 'Mask' from the eighties. You know, the one with Cher.

That's all I can say about 'White Chicks'. Now I feel the need to cleanse my computer. It has seen horrible stuff today that I don't want it to remember.

Oh by the way, dates to avoid. 23rd of June in the U.S. 19th of August in Australia.

The Terminal

'The Terminal' is the latest Spielberg/Hanks movie due in the U.S. on the 18th of June.

'The Terminal' tells the story of Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks), a visitor to New York from Eastern Europe, whose homeland erupts in a fiery coup while he is in the air en route to America. Stranded at Kennedy Airport with a passport from nowhere, he is unauthorized to actually enter the United States and must improvise his days and nights in the terminal’s international transit lounge until the war at home is over. As the weeks and months stretch on, Viktor finds the compressed universe of the terminal to be a richly complex world of absurdity, generosity, ambition, amusement, status, serendipity and even romance with a beautiful flight attendant named Amelia (Catherine Zeta-Jones). But Viktor has long worn out his welcome with airport official Frank Dixon, who considers him a bureaucratic glitch, a problem he cannot control but wants desperately to erase.

After reading this Plot Summary from the official web site I wasn't very interested in seeing this film but after seeing the trailer I will be seeing this movie soon.

I vaguely remember watching a documentary about a guy in this sort of situation but the Spielberg gang claim that it is entirely a work of fiction.

Last word from the Dreamworks camp is that Spielberg is not letting this one out, even for reviewers, because he is making some final touches on it. I suppose in eleven days well will hear nothing but Spielberg, Spielberg, Spielberg.

"The Terminal' will be out in Australia on the 26th of August.

Don't go Libby! Don't go!

Kym Valentine is finally leaving Ramsey Street after growing up in front of viewers of the successful soap 'Neighbours'. Kym is expected to film her last scene for 'Neighbours' on the second of July.

Kym will go on too do a stage musical called 'Time of my Life' opposite Josef Brown. 'Time of my Life' is based on the movie 'Dirty Dancing' staring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey.

$11.25 million for a wall!

I has been announced that to be included in Australia's Parliament security upgrades is a wall measuring no higher then 90cm. The wall will go around Parliament in a bid to stop trucks, loaded with explosives, from gaining access near the building.

How does a wall cost eleven and a quarter million dollars? Is there a tank positioned at the top?

Dodgeball

Here's a another fun movie coming up in the next few months. It's about a group of underdogs who need to raise money to save their gym before the bank forcloses on them. Solution, a Dodgeball tournament. It's a weak story line but carries a decent supporting cast including Vince Vaughn, Rip Torn, Justin Long, Stephen Root and Gary Cole.

By the look of the trailer, Stephen Root is well worth the price of DVD rental atleast.

Dodgeball will be out in the U.S. June 18th but Aussie viewers wont get to view it until September 30. Once again staggered release will start a downloading frenzy with others choosing to buy the DVD from Canada.

More Gay School

John Howard weighed in today over the issue of 'Play School' airing a story where a little girl refers to having two mummies.

The story can be found here.

I can't help but notice that the 'Play School' story never mentioned that the women were in fact a lesbian couple. I could just be a case of the girl being out with her maternal mum and her step mum.

I suppose this is what happens when....

Terminator_169 writes.....

I'm a 16 year old boy and I'm getting pretty close to my chick. I'm pretty sure that it wont be long before we do it! Unfortunately I'm not circumcised and I'm worried that my chick will be grossed out! What can I do?

Hello Terminator_169, and thanks for reading.

I'm afraid that short of taking your pocket knife to your member and doing your circumcision yourself, there is not much you can do.

It's perfectly natural to worry about what the opposite sex thinks of your penis. I have heard from many men who worry about their penises length, girth and about how it looks erect. Your foreskin is not a problem when it comes to appearance. The sad truth that us men have to deal with is that our penises look ugly no matter how they are wrapped. Nine out of ten women will tell you that the penis is the most unattractive thing on the face of the planet.

So relax and don't worry that your partner is holding back vomit when she's having sex with you. The whole ordeal will be over in less then a minute and you will be able to go back to worrying about the important things in life. Buffy re-runs.

If you could just give my letter to god, that would be great 

Movie Pirates

Its been reported that numerous people have been caught video taping movies in cinemas to be distributed around the world.

Recently two 'Pirates' were arrested filming the new disaster film 'The Day After Tomorrow'.

Sources say that this is the worst crime they have seen since bootlegs of the film 'Armageddon' surfaced in 1998.

"Children, who can't afford movie tickets buy these bootlegs hoping to see something worth while! To find out that they have to put up with this, Well I'm just shocked. These are truly disturbed individuals!" Spokesperson for the MPAA said.

MPAA director John Malcolm said the industry has vowed to vigorously prosecute video pirates who bootleg these bad films. "We hope to get some good bootlegs onto the streets sometime soon. We happen to know that someone is filming 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' as we speak."

As much as I love Halle Berry...

I am so not behind this sad attempt at a movie. Bob Kane must be rolling in his grave knowing that Warner Brothers have made Catwoman the Movie.

Catwoman is out in North America on the 23rd of July. Australia wont see it until September 16. Hopefully we can hold it off even longer!

When Is A Story Not A Story?

Brian Bonsall, who you would remember as little Andy Keaton from 'Family Ties' was in the news today.

Brian hasn't been on television or in movies since he was in 'Lily in Winter', a made for T.V. movie in which a then 13 year old Brian appeared opposite Natalie Cole.

Today he was in the news because he was arrested for driving under the influence. Why the hell is this young man on CNN?

Then they wonder why child stars cant make it in the real world. Because CNN makes news out of everything they do, even after leaving the spotlight for ten years!

Pauly Shore is Dead!

Oh I so wish this wasn't just the title of his new movie.

The only thing I have to say about it is dont see it! Even if it does have a heap of B grade cameos.

Uni classes full for the first time!

Recent reports have indicated that Australian universities over enrolled 25 000 students in 2003 with 2159 extra students just at Sydney University alone.

Students have reported that for the first time that they could remember, classes were full with students.

"Its good now! I remember in the good old days I would turn up to class and be expected to have a discussion with myself." Joeleen, a twenty two years old student.

Department of Education officials attribute the full classes to the over enrolments.

"Its common knowledge that university students normally don't show up to class. We have used this to get more money from enrollments. Now with two thirds of students not showing up, we have just enough room in our universities to teach the ones that do turn up." Department of Education insider.

When asked what would happen if they all decided to turn up one day, our informant laughed in our face. "That will never happen!"

Other people attribute this as a ploy to get more students from areas outside Australia.

"If our classes look like they are full it will push up the T.E.E requirements. If this happens, less Australians will be able to access tertiary education. This will know doubt make more places for Asian students who pay up front fees!" Reggie, a One Nation supporter.

With little change on the way, universities may be looking at this as a reason not to enroll students with scholarship as a cost cutting exercise.

"Universities are struggling to come up with the criteria on which to judge the allocation when there is just so much demand," Ms Jansen of the NUS said.

Gay School Update

Play School attacked for gay mums
By Paul Osborne
June 3, 2004

GOVERNMENT ministers today blasted national broadcaster ABC for allowing popular children's show Play School to air the story of a girl going to the fair with her two mothers on Monday.

"I'm Brenna. That's me in the blue. My mums are taking me and my friend Meryn to an amusement park," the little girl says over images of her two mums smiling and waving.
Communications Minister Daryl Williams said he had indicated his concerns to ABC managing director Russell Balding and asked that they be passed on to the board.

"The government understands that parents would expect a program like Play School to deal with issues which are appropriate for the age of its audience," Mr Williams said.

"In particular, Australian parents should be able to choose when to explain concepts such as same-sex couples to their young children.

"Parents are in the best position to decide when their children are ready to learn about these issues."

Children's Minister Larry Anthony said he feared the ABC was becoming too politically correct.

"I think it's important for those program producers to ensure that they are not just responding to minorities," he said.

"I think Play School has been an excellent program but I wouldn't like to see it become politically correct."

ABC Children's Television head Claire Henderson said the Through The Windows segment of Play School reflected the variety of the contemporary world.

"Play School aims to reflect the diversity of Australian children, embracing all manner of race, religions and family situations," she said.

Ms Henderson said there had been segments on celebrating the Jewish holiday Chunakah (Hannukah), a Muslim family and a child as bridesmaid at her grandmother's wedding.

Australian Democrats senator Brian Greig said the ABC had a mandate to reflect modern life and culture.

"Gay and lesbian taxpayers, who pay their eight cents a day to the ABC, have a right to have their family structure seen in local content just like everybody else," he said.

"I would hate to see us turn the clock back to a time where minorities were censored from Australian television as Aborigines and Asians and people with disabilities were once excluded from representation on TV."

Health Minister Tony Abbott, who has three daughters aged 10, 12 and 14, said he would have been shocked to see such a storyline on the children's program.

"When I used to be watching children's television with my kids that kind of thing didn't seem to be part of it," he said.

"I must say I think that if I'd been watching it with my kids, I'd have been a bit shocked.

"My kids these days have different viewing habits."

Will Smith is back

'I, Robot', a story by Isaac Asimov is making its way to the big screen thanks to Fox. I can't help but think that Fox was hoping to cash in on the success of 'The Matrix'. (If only they could have predicted how poorly 'The Matrix' would end up doing before shooting of 'I, Robot' began). It will be out in Australia on the 22nd of July this year, a week after its North America release. It looks good enough. Besides, I can rarely pass up the chance to see the Fresh Prince do his thing.

Play School goes Gay?

When will people lighten up?

On Mondays Play School, watchers were told a story about a little girl who goes to the fair with her two mummies. The Family Lobby group Endeavour Forum were quick to jump on the shows producers saying that "Parents would be quite unsuspecting because they think, 'Oh this is a children's program. It's not going to have anything to do with sex or violence'."

How does a lesbian couple taking their girl to a fair and having quality family time constitute sex and or violence? Other comments also go on to say that ABC are using taxpayer money to indoctrinate toddlers in radical politics. How is having an understanding and tolerance for all people radical?

I understand that with the Governments policy to put Australia more in line with the U.S's Gay and Lesbian laws the ABC's actions could be seen to be putting the other sides story out there in a bid to soften up the public but the show is meant for children. My understanding is that this demographic still doesn't have the right to vote.

Claire Henderson of the ABC defended their position by saying "The through-the-windows segments on Play School provide an opportunity to show children the wider world, They reflect the contemporary world in all its variety."

I'm sorry but unless you are going to lock yourself inside your house and turn off your T.V, radio and computer, you are going to have to understand that there is more to the world then just church and ignorance.

The real issues in the bush.

I have been watching the oil price debate rage on for as long as I remember. I can vaguely recollect my Dad bitching when the price for Leaded rose above 70 cents a litre. I thought it was time to let you in on the real problem facing rural Australia and its not oil prices.

In Esperance, my small town on the south coast of Western Australia, there is only one franchise pizza shop. I am sure that there is other mum and pop stores that sell pizza but they already have a reputation for expensive pizza. In Esperance Eagle Boys rule the school living by one rule, Fresha Pizza! In coming through with that promise (I can guarantee you that their pizza is no fresher then anyone else's), Eagle Boys have thrown caution to the wind with their outlandish prices.

$21.95 will get you two pizzas. OK, that's not too bad you say. Did I mention that was the pick up price. Not only that, its the coupon price! Don't forget you also have a $1.95 surcharge for chicken and seafood. On top of that there is a $1.25 surcharge for extra toppings on menu pizzas, 'Create your own' pizzas with more then 4 toppings and half and half pizzas. As a bonus you get another 10% surcharge if you order on a public holiday.

Want 3 pizzas? Don't have a car or are too drunk to get your pizza? Don't worry, there is a coupon for that. $37.95 will get you your 3 pizzas delivered to your door. Just don't forget all the surcharges and make sure you present your coupon!

After enduring through this trauma twice I have now resolved myself to buying frozen pizza from Woolies at half the price (more if you get your Eagle Boys delivered). If you ever venture out into the country I urge you to do the same.

PM Recreates scene from 'Pretty Woman'

Beverly Hills. The Australian Prime Minister Mr John Howard has chosen to stay at the ritzy Beverly Wilshire Hotel while staying in California.

The Beverly Wilshire Hotel was the setting for the hit eighties classic 'Pretty Woman' staring Julia Roberts. Sources say that not long after arriving Mr Howard and wife Janette retreated to their room and placed the do not disturb sign on the door knob. Exactly an hour afterwards, Mrs Howard was seen exiting the hotel heading in the direction of the expensive Beverly Hills retail outlets. Advisers for the PM say he's too tired too comment.

Garfield the Movie in CGI! How cool is that. It makes its North American release on June 11 but wont make it to Australia untill the 9th of September. Once again staggered release will see people buying this film on DVD from the U.S. way before Aussie cinemas get it. Or worst still, downloading it because they dont see why they should wait.

This umbrella obviously doesn't like freedom

 

Not long now

Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11 opens in the United States nationwide on Friday, June 25th

Also now added is the movie trailer. As yet I have not been able to get it to work (I only get sound) but I'm sure it will be OK soon.

***UPDATE***

Seen the trailer now and yes, it was everything I hoped for. Cant wait to see the film in Australia.

On a side note. Mike, if your reading this, do you have any new information on Sicko? Yes, I haven't seen your latest and I'm already asking about the next! For those of you who don't know, Sicko is the title of Mike's next project. It will deal with issues relating to America's health care system.

Church of Fools

I am in no way a religious man but because of the hype I decided to visit the Church of Fools the other day. At first glance it is just one of those old virtual chat rooms from the late 90's but I believe that there is definite merit to the idea.

For starters they give the full on church experience with a service every Sunday night. If your lucky you can hear a sermon or two during the rest of the week. While its just another website, you feel the need to obey all the usual church rules.

Secondly its not bound by race. While it is run by the Methodist Church of Great Britain everybody seems to be made feel welcome. Besides it still offers the anonymity that the internet brings. Mind you I don't think anyone with strong religious faith directed else where are going to bother to visit.

All in all I think why not. It is a good idea and I'm glad a church had the guts to do it. Its currently two thirds of the way through its three month test and I urge anybody who hasn't been to check it out at least once. Keep in mind though that you are unlikely to be able to use all the churches features. The church only has the room for about 25 users and is currently handling about 41000 hits a day. This means that you can get into the church but you are invisible to everybody else. Unless your one of the lucky 25 but I don't think they ever leave.

I wanted to share this for anyone who hasn't seen it.  

Something to activate.

Blogging. So easy anybody can do it.
Watch as I prove that wrong.
